Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 7-21 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to 12-18 inches apart. For direct sowing, scatter seeds and thin to desired spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Once established, they are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave seed heads for birds and self-seeding. Adobe Orange Coneflower performs best in full sun and well-drained soil; avoid overly rich or wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Adobe Orange Coneflower seeds (Rudbeckia hirta).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776207421750,"sku":"FOLIA-399","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7273291542_4mms.jpg?v=1792468344","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-adobe-orange-coneflower-seeds-rudbeckia-hirta-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
